Matt Harvey's season is officially over after having surgery Monday to relieve thoracic outlet syndrome. The trapped nerves had been causing numbness and discomfort in his pitching arm and shoulder, he said in early July.
Harvey ended the year 4-10 with a 4.86 ERA in 17 starts.
People close to the team and player all say Harvey will be 100 percent by Spring Training. However, how he'll throw, and what type of pitcher he'll be, remains a mystery...
Josh Beckett, Chris Carpenter, Noah Lowry, Chris Young, Jaime Garcia, Shaun Marcum, and a handful of other big-league pitchers, all had similar surgeries to correct similar issues.
